I’ll quit using anything that does that.
I don’t know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.
Yeah but the C suite is so far removed from reality they don’t know, or don’t care to know about it. It’s not like you have much of a choice anyhow. They’ve bought up the competition, drove out the mom and pop shops. Their mentality is “yeah, but what are you gonna do about it?”
So, all ads.
Blink detected… Added 10 more seconds of ads…
I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.
The amount of times I’ve been watching youtube, it queueing up ads, and me just pressing the home button to switch to newpipe is immeasurable
Why arent you blocking ads?
Revanced is a game changer
Better than AdGuard, Ublock and all those?
Those don’t block ads from same domain, network wide. Dns adblock will block 90%+.
Device specific for ublock origin and adguard plugins, can’t put that on a Nintendo switch.
This will cause riots, lol.
If trump isn’t causing riots, this won’t either.
“Detecting eyes not focused! Please focus.”
Unabomber right?
Is it time to put googly eyes on my testicles again? Do I have permission?
You take them off?
Yes
That’s an immediate uninstall.
relax, when the industry puts this into practice (not IF but WHEN) they will stick it very slowly in us until we get used to it and don’t even realize that we already accept it quietly without complaining
Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.
Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.
Maybe it’s because I’m autistic but that has the opposite effect on me. If I see your ad enough to remember the product that just means I’m going to avoid that product like a fuckin plague.
Same. If I’m interested or looking for that product, I’ll do my research.
Just got a new pair of chukkas from a company I’ve never heard of (Thursday) based on research. Not ready to spend $500 for some boots, these were great quality at reasonable price for me.
Same. It’s a great way to get my hatred
That’s not even an install. A non-camera/video chat/QR scan app demanding permanent (!) access to the camera is a big No no
“Please watch this 5-minute advertisment to uninstall the app. Don’t break eye contact.”
uninstall your OS
“Before you delete your OS, would you like to know about the hot singles in your area?”
Black Mirror
Which episode was this?
Think it’s Fifteen Million Merits
I’m not OP, but I’m guessing Fifteen Million Merits (S01E02)
Be sure to stock up on verification cans
Have you had your Cuppliance?
Wasn’t this actually patented?
Yes, boobaAwooga, by Sony.
“Fuck you, Mc Donalds”
“What was that?”
“Nothing”
Kenneth Lamar Noid proved that violence is an effective means of stopping advertisements
throws phone against a wall
Oh wow! It worked! The ad is gone!
